There Is A Dinner Party Right Across The Hall

[littlest_lord]

Who: Phancyhive and invited/close CR!
When: Wednesday Evening for supper
Where: Phancyhive
Summary: With so many new additions to the household, it's only proper to welcome them with a dinner party.
Warnings: A bunch of crazy people around a dinner table. What could possibly go wrong?

<sub>[Ciel hated parties. Really, he did. They were an unbearable drudgery of having to socialize but he could manage to endure for one night. It was expected of him to host such an event, what with the new additions to the household, so despite his desire to lock himself away in his office, he'd been dressed in lovely clothes and had the whole thing arranged.

The dining room itself was decorated exquisitely and the food that had been set out was unbearably tempting to anyone who'd glance upon it. Hopefully, the whole night wouldn't be an ordeal. The last thing needed was more stress.]</sub>

[It's all good, Hannah. While she works on the sweets, Gilbert is working on everything else. Meats, vegetables, soups, garnishes, cleaning cleaning cleaning. He runs his kitchen skillfully, but not nearly as fast or precise as she does. For a human he has skills that only come along with working as a servant most of his life, and being forced into a 'professional' habit these last two years in the Port, but he also has the disadvantage of not being...a demon. Oops.

He works silently, not wanting to bother her, but every once in a while he glances over her way and watches her work. She'll probably catch him staring at some point.]

[She can feel him staring. At first she thinks perhaps she has made too many sweets. It cannot be so, because Ciel Phantomhive inhales sweets like air.

She glances at him, too, eyebrow raising just slightly. Perhaps she is working too fast. Perhaps he needs assistance. She pauses in stirring up another batch of cookie dough and glances at him. ]

Is there something the matter?
